A taster of what Alison is currently working on…

Acro Dance
Using the skills from the Acrobatics Art Module One training, Alison has been teaching children aged 3+ for Dancing Gemz in Rossett and will be starting classes in schools in Cheshire for KS1 and KS2 with CEPD.

After School Clubs
For Primary and Secondary aged children, using all styles of dance from Ballet through to Zumba, to boost confidence, fitness, well being and team work among others, over a 5-6 week block or on an ongoing basis, with performances at the end of each half term (circumstances permitting).

Ballet
Alison joined the Dancing Gemz teaching team in November 2021 with classes in Rossett on a Wednesday evening. Ballet is possibly Alison’s favourite style of dance and she will be very glad to be in a position to share her passion with new dancers.

Curriculum
Alison has been teaching in schools and nurseries since 2009, using all elements of her varied dance experience.
Pure dance as part of PE provision as well as creative movement to encourage cross-curricular learning, developing team working, improving fitness and building confidence as we go, as well as CPD provision to support staff in their teaching of dance within PE. All classes are currently run thanks to CEPD.

The following diagram aims to illustrate how the different elements of Alison’s work can be used within school and nursery settings…

Funky Feet Music
Using Music and Movement, in line with the EYFS to help Nursery and Foundation Stage Children learn and develop the skills they need in a fun and playful way.
There are 2 ways to enjoy the benefits of Funky Feet Music in your setting…
– In person, face to face sessions, where Alison visits you on a weekly basis to dance with the children
– Via the online platform, where staff can access the video resources to learn the songs and play them to the children

Zumba and CIRCL Mobility
Alison ran a very popular weekly Zumba class at Champneys Springs Health Spa from 2014 to 2020. COVID-19 put an end to the classes, but she is very glad to be able to start classes again for Fitness Gemz in Rossett on Wednesday evenings.
Zumba is the World Dance party while CIRCL Mobility is their newest programme to encourage flexibility, flow and feeling great.
